HUMAN GREED-Absolute(ly) Greedy(y) CD (1995)

This is a compilation of all the bands recorded material. My relationship came about with members of this band through an old Canadian friend named Simon Harvey. Simon was raving about this Canadian grind outfit that had two singers that were mind blowing, and the perfect mesh of metal and hardcore. Simon put out a split LP with Human Greed and Shitfit in 1993-94. I fell in love with Human Greed prior to the album even coming out (as Simon leaked me a tape). Over the years we (Monster X, and Devoid Of Faith) played many shows with these guys, and Monster X was even lucky enough to do a split 7" with them. HG played in Albany with us I believe twice in the mid 90s, and we played in Canada with them. We loved them as people and as a band. They were hardworking animal rights and environmental people, and it came through in their music. When these grindmasters broke up members went on to form Seized. Freddy (the drummer) went on to play in State Of Fear (ex-Disrupt dudes). I really miss these guys and think about Wag, Steph, Freddy, and Pat a lot. They've been hard to track down over the years. Hard to believe this junk is over 20 years old now. Enjoy these 22 slices of grinding hardcore.
